Anti Depressant's and Ketosis....

[TEXWS6]

Is it possible to get into the state of Ketosis while on Anti Depressants??

You should be able to get into ketosis while on anti-depressants, but I don't know what that would do to how the anti-depressant would work either. You're brain chemistry is altered a little by using ketones for fuel, so I don't know if it will alter the effectiveness of antidepressants.

Why would the two be a bad combo Mr. X??? If so, what would you suggest for an effective fat loss diet like the CKD??

you are altering the brain chemistry with the diet, and the antidepressants won't be effective. For alot of people, when using ketones to fuel the brain, the ketones can have an effect like a depressant. That is my best advice and explanation but not everyone feels that effect either. A friend of mine just came of a ketogenic diet and he said the only problems were in the mornings, but once awake he felt fine...however, he was also on anti-anxiety medication too.

You could do a low carb diet instead rather than a no carb or zero carb diet, and it would work wonders for you and you don't worry about the ketones and antidepressants counteracting each other.
